Mercenaries of the Heavens

Chapter 194

On the city wall of Shanhaiguan, Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui and his son watched in astonishment from beginning to end as Wang Zhi led a thousand-man cavalry, rushed into the [-]-man Tartar cavalry and slaughtered them without a single enemy.

Another way was like cutting melons and vegetables, killing more than 2000 Tartar cavalry with ease.

However, the Tartar cavalry, who were so arrogant in the past and were known as "the cavalry of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, are unparalleled in the world and invincible", will obviously lose their courage and flee in all directions.

A group of guards yelled and told the surrendered Tartar cavalry to throw away their weapons, dismount and kneel on the ground, while the remaining Tartar cavalry who were still fleeing were chased and killed by Shen Lian.

The troops of Pei Lun and Zhuo Yifan in the distance ran forward one after another, tied the hands of the Tartar captives with ropes, brought them back to the camp and locked them up.

Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui and his son saw that the battle was basically over, and their original idea of ​​coming out to get a share of the pie had vanished.

At this time, the two just wanted to curry favor with the governor, so at Wu Sangui's suggestion, they only brought the cooks from the military town, and the civilian husbands carried grain and meat out of the customs to celebrate the new army.

When Wang went directly to inform Qin Qing who was staying behind, he was confused:

This is wrong!Shouldn't Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui and his son sent troops out to snatch heads?Why did you bring me food?
What he didn't know was that Wu Xiang and his son had fought against the Tartar cavalry for many years, and they knew the combat power of the Tartar cavalry very well. Their fighting strength makes them fearful, so how dare they come to snatch military achievements!

At this time, the father and son of the Wu family are having a conversation:

Just listen to Wu Sangui's tone of affirmation:
"Father, I want to join the new army!"

Wu Xiang replied casually:

"Oh! Tell me why?"

Wu Sangui looked into Wu Xiang's eyes and said seriously:
"Father, the strength of this new army can directly defeat [-] Tartar cavalry. I don't think they have used their full strength! I guess they can defeat [-] Tartars in one go!
What's more, there are a thousand infantry troops, and they are equipped with weapons that look like firearms, but we have never seen them before!
I guess ~~~ Their power is even greater!
If they want to break into the capital of the Tartars in one go and flatten the lairs of the Tartars, there will be no chance for us to earn military merits in the future!

If I don't join now, my future prospects will be gone! "

After hearing Wu Sangui's words, Wu Xiang couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

After a while, Wu Xiang looked at Wu Sangui and said seriously:

"Uncle, since you were young, you have shown wisdom beyond ordinary people. You can see things farther than your father! Since you have said this, being a father will not stop you. After the governor returns, I will help you speak From now on, whether it is a dragon or a worm, it depends on your luck!"

With Wu Xiang's approval, Wu Sangui nodded firmly and said:
"Everything is thanks to you, my lord! My son will definitely earn a title, honoring our ancestors!"

Of course, Wang Zhi had no way of knowing the conversation between the Wu family father and son. At this time, Wang Zhi felt aggrieved by the actions of the Wu family father and son and had nowhere to say anything.

Since he can't clean up the Wu family father and son now, Wang Zhi doesn't plan to go back and meet with the two of them now, let's cool them down for a while.

When the sky was getting dark, Wang Zhi led his people back to the camp.

From far away, they saw Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui and his son standing at the gate of the camp to welcome Wang Zhi's return.

Wang Zhi got off his horse at the gate of the camp, handed the reins of the horse to the soldiers around him, and walked towards Wu Xiang and his son.

When there were still ten steps away, Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui bent down and cupped their fists and said respectfully:

"I have met the Governor! Congratulations to the new army under the Governor's command! Your Excellency defeated 1000 Tartar cavalry in one battle and captured more than [-] elite Tartars! It really boosted the morale of our Ming army, and it is indeed the mainstay of our Ming army!"

Hearing the flattery of the two, Wang Zhi was very upset.

He didn't want to make the two of them look good, so he said vaguely:

"Ok!"

He walked past the two of them, and walked towards his handsome tent with a bad face all the way.

Behind them, Wu Xiang and his son looked at each other. Although embarrassed, they had the cheek to follow the leaders into Wang Zhi's tent.

Wang Zhi walked and thought about how to deal with Wu Xiang and his son:

This time when I came out, I was going to clean up the Man Qing in one go, and there will be no more Man Qing entering the customs in the future!Then, there is no chance to clean up the Wu family and his sons now. After the border is settled, only the rebel Li Zicheng and others and a bunch of moths in the court will be left!

How should I face these two people?Killing two people without any excuse will make the generals at the border feel cold and sad, fearing a rebellion, which will be detrimental to the future reform of Ming Dynasty!

So what should I do?Letting them stay in Shanhaiguan is bad for the people and bad for the remaining army!

At this moment, Wang Zhi, who was sitting at the top of the tent, heard Wu Xiang bow and say:
"Your Excellency, my son Wu Sangui, I admire you very much, and I look forward to joining your lord! I am willing to follow my lord on the battlefield and wrap my body in horse leather! I hope my lord will make it happen!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed to Wang Zhi and fell to the ground. Wu Sangui who was beside him hurriedly stood up and looked at Wang Zhi with a sincere expression.

Seeing the behavior of the two, Wang Zhi thought to himself:

They are really two cunning old and young foxes, so I can see my plan!snort!

Think about it for a second:
When Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was already in his 30s, and he made a choice under the general trend!

In history, Wu Sangui was brave and good at fighting, and he was a fierce general!He is only 16 years old now, and his temperament is uncertain!
If you can subdue him, train him well, and change his thinking, maybe you will be able to cultivate a good general for Chongzhen, not necessarily!
Maybe there will be a hidden mission to be completed?

Thinking of this, Wang Zhi paid attention, looked at the two and said:

"Oh! Do both of you, father and son, have such thoughts? You know, my new army is going to go out of the customs all the time and destroy the Houjin regime!
If you leave with me today, you don't know when you can come back and when you will die!Wu Xiang, Wu Zongbing, and Master Wu, are you willing? "

Hearing Wang Zhi's words, Wu Xiang felt excited, and thought:

really!My son guessed it right!If you really want to destroy Houjin, this is a great achievement!As long as you can follow the governor in front of you, you don't have to worry about not earning military merit!It seems that my Wu family is really about to rise!

Thinking of this, Wu Xiang simply knelt down on one knee, and said righteously:

"My son's ambition is to protect the country and the people for the imperial court, and expand the territory! I, Wu Xiang, have nothing to give up!"

After hearing Wang Zhi's words, Wu Sangui was naturally unwilling to give up the opportunity.

Seeing him rushing away the corpse, he knelt on the ground with a "bang" and his legs were heavy, clasped his fists with both hands, and said loudly:

"Your Excellency, the eldest uncle has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his skills are not bad. He is confident and capable of following in the footsteps of his lord. He will destroy the empress gold and make great achievements! As long as he can follow his lord, Wu Sangui will never hesitate to die!"

After finishing speaking, he knocked his head heavily.
